There are no spacers on either vehicle. The F350 is a single rear axle.

Large spacers and big negative offsets will put more strain on the hub because the weight is moved farther from the bearing. Think of a lever. However, with the 1.5" spacers in question, that force is minimal and not something I would lose sleep over.

This video does a good job of explaining what I meant far better than I could ever do.
The 74Weld guys touching on offset, scrub radius, etc.

Zone 3”, 1.5 spacers and 37” KM3 tires. JKS Max Tire Kit is probably the other thing you need. And I’m at 16,000 miles on this set up with zero issues.

Watch. A lot of good info and at about 17 min gets into wheel spacers. I’m not bashing spacers as I want 1 1/4in spacers. Just debating wheels instead at first tire replacement.

As you might have guessed, wheel spacers attained a bad reputation in the community for a reason, but it isn’t as black and white as some make it seem.
A big first mistake a lot of people make when it comes to wheel spacers is getting one of poor quality. You’ll see a lot of no-names, poor-quality wheel spacers on eBay that are sold for an extremely low price and this is one of the reasons why people end up having a bad experience with spacers.
Things to Look for When Buying Wheel Spacers When looking for a spacer, pay attention to...The materials used, If it has a hub-centric ring to aid with weight rotation, What brand your product is coming from all of these things are going to make a huge difference.
A good example of a high-quality spacer that take a look at if you plan to get a spacer is the line of Bora spacers. They are made out of T60, 61 Aircraft Grade billet aluminum with a hub-centric ring. The materials and build quality are going to set you up for success when running spacers.
There are complications with wheel spacers for sure but doing them correctly will yield rewarding results! If you are planning on getting yourself a set, just do your research and measurements and follow proper installation.

Agreed. I’ve run 2” bora hub centric spacers on stock badlands Sasquatch setup for 20,000+ miles, including some challenging trails, with ZERO issues. Undue wear on the bearings? Maybe. But long term effects are in my experience insignificant.
just make sure you get quality machined hubcentric spacers and torque them down properly to spec.
